No I didn't get the pre welded ones, I wanted to be able to angle them myself and they were a little cheaper (and I got the free TG tags too )

And yeah I agree with ya, and I don't have to worry about scratchin and dentin' the bike

I really want sliders vs the n-fab bars I have now, but figured they would appear weird on a Prerunner...but then again, in 2013 I'd like to do a 4x4 conversion. Maybe new sliders will help push me towards that goal, hehe

They won't look wierd, sliders do more than just protect from boulders. They also stop branches, gravel, etc from hitting the rockers.

oh i know! thrashing the bike is so much cheaper and easier to fix. ill climb a 60 degree hill covered in rocks and shale and flip the bike over 3/4 of the way up and have it slide down then go do it 3 more times before the afternoon trail ride.

That's exactly what I did yesterday, have the GoPro footage to prove it...pretty funny watchin me rolling down the hill legs and arms flailing about haha. Camera didn't move an inch either.
